Reviews

I use this to run test review sessions for my classes, which saves a ton of face-to-face class time over the course of a year. Because the platform so closely replicates a traditional classroom, the learning curve in on the order of a few minutes--both for me and for my students. Once up and running, the technology takes a back seat to learning and we have a test review session as we normally would. Of course there are some limitations--some things you miss out compared to face-to-face interaction, but GatherEd is by far the best solution to my test review needs I've found.

I have used this tool to run interactive review sessions for incoming college freshman that need to complete the Accuplacer assessment. GE has provided an excellent platform where I can unite students from all over the world. There are 3-4 other ways I plan on using the Gather Education technology during the upcoming school year.
